A general riot followed, and from fo obs handred shuts were fred by the contend) companies. resulting in the wounding of several sons. The only wonder is, that, with péstol and guo _ fiy{ng in all directions, no person was killed We hope the matter will be sifted, and that it will be explained why the States Hose (who were not on parade) were collected at that corner; and also why the Northern compote — awe marching in that particular direction espect- able merchants ie that neighborhood say that symptoms of a row had been brewing all day, and been evidently purposed by the twocom- panies in settlement of a deadly feud It is not competent for either party to throw the entire blame apon the other, and both should be held up to reprobation for outraging the laws and recklessly endangering the lives of peaceful citi- zens The names of those wounded, so far as knowa, are Mr. William Walker, a messenger in the General Post Office, who received a buck-shot wonnd while in the procession; H. Taylor, of the Northern Liberties, who received a pafnful wound in the Iki @ young man named Combs, from the Second Ward, was taken home seriously injured; a bey, whose name we could not ascer- tain was wounded in the shonider; and a col- ored man named Simpson was slightip wounded in the wrist Dr. Boyle succeeded in extracting the shot from the wound upon Mr. Walker, but the ball im the leg of Taylor could not be extracted, it being buried in the muscles. Atthe time the affray commenced, the Auxiliary Guards were just wering the roll call to go on duty, and as soon as the Captain heard the alarm he went to the scene. but the firing was then ever. He then repaired to the hose house of the States Hose and there found a number of men, and told an officer of the company that he wanted = toclose the house and disperse, which they did. No arrests were made Tu River —Numerous flights of wild pigeon were this morning seen about the river shores, and from the Long Bridge. The sporting men on the bridge this morning were making exten- sive preparations to institute a wholesale slaughter upon them. At Magruder & Stone's wharf, arrived schr. Mary Clotilda, Capt. Lewis, from White Point, with 1,000 bashels of sand for the Post Office. Also, schr. Geiden Medal, Capt. Dixon, from Charles county, with 45 cords of oak wood for Magruder & Stone. Capt. Dixon also brought up on bis neat little schooner something very precious in the way of freight, in the shepe ofa utiful young lady from the aforesaid port.

A new steam tug, named the Spry, hes lately made its appearance in the Potomac, for the pur- pose of piying between the various points on our waters. The regret is, tbat there are no greater inducements for this sort of enterprise among us. It is to be hoped that the little tug will meet with abundant success among us. The “ Guy’? went down to the guano ship on Monday, with two schooners in tow, to lighten her still farther. Brig Fanny arrived at Alexandria yesterday, from Gosport, with lumber Stara Diernict Porice—Before Justice Cull. James Conner and George Allen were brought up on complaint of disorderly conduct, threats, vio- lenee. drunkenness, and for fighting on Saturday night last. he case was this: The Anacostia Fire Com- pany had got a new bell on their Engine-house, which was manufactured by the workmen in the Navy Yard; the said bell, being of excellent tone, was rung a long time to the gratification of the Anacostians. The bell-ringing brought the States Hose on the ground, and presently a fight oceur- red among the firemen, from whence the above arrests. Allen, was tined $5.58, and Conner $2.94; they were then discharged. Col. Benjamin Bean felt himself aggrieved by @ certain measurement made by the Corporation commissioner or surveyor, with reference to lay- ing down a pavement in front of the Bethel church in the Fifth Ward: and, finally, he got so exaspe- rated by the said measurement, that he expressed his indignation against the commissioner in words, which are forbidden by the Corporation statutes; for all of which he was arrested, and brought vp to answer for the same. The Colonel felt highly insulted at being brought up on such 2 charye, more especially as he is an ex-surveyor Rimseif, ax well as self-constituted policeman in the Fifth Ward; but it was a clear case of moral ¥; x0 he bed to stand it, and pay for his opposition to the law in the sum of $1.94 cts which he finally concluded was cheap enough, and accordingly forked over and left Mrs. Churn charged Mrs. Mitebell with mis- appropriation of a stone jar; and, the papers be- ing properly executed. the otticer proceeded to teke the body of Mix.

His octaves and his performance without the bow stick his hearers as something approaching the marvellous D’Angri improves on each 4a: nce, and never before has she sung here with such ease and yet with such a display of reserved power. So satisfactory a Concert, altogether, we pre- sume, has never before been given in Wash ng- ton. The applause was vehement, and the en- cores were carried to thé anconscionahle extent of swindling—we can express it by no other terin— the performers out of four pieces more than were set down in the prograsnine, thus lengthening the labor for whieh had contracted by more than athitd.

We are glad to know that, in a few weeks, these admirable artists will visit us again. [comMMUNICATED. “ They that be wise shall shine as the brigbt- ness of te firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for everand ever.’ — Dan. xii. 3. It was the good fortune of your correspondent to be present at the performance of Divine service in Grace chureb, on the Island, on Sunday morn- ing last, when an appeal was made by the pious pat devoted rector, the Rev. Alfred Holmead, M. D., for the consummation of a project which bas long lain nearthe hearts of that gentleman and his vestry, namely: the payment of the balance due on account of the erection of their church. Six years have scarcely elapsed since Dr. H engaged in the piste ogee of establishing this parish At that time he could number but three families in the Seventh Ward who professed the faith and worshipped God in conformity with the ritual of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The temple in which they dest was a school- house standing in the centre of what is now one of our most beautiful avenues, (Maryland,) but which had then but few semblances of improve- ment. Trasting in God, they erected, at an expense of about 96,000, a small but beautiful church, for walsh with the Divine blessing, they have been e1 d to make the payment of rincipal and interest less the sum which is now ne, amounting to $900. The text chosen by the preacher was from 2 Cor. vill. 3, 4, and the ser- mon was one of those fetvidly eloquent aj which might been ex, from one so guished ‘m talent, piety and zeal as the rec! Grace church, evidenced by six years of di: terested service, wmrequited save y the blessing of God upon his labors. I rejoice in being able to add that the appeal was promptly responded to hy this zealous band of worshippers in a subscription amounting to #710, to be paid by montbly instalments within the next year, and the pledge of responsible per- soas to meet by a pro rata assessment whatever sum may remain due upon the church debt, and unpaid at the end of that term, W. Washington, Sept. 28, 1557. Fuxerat.—The funeral of the late Major Lind- say took place yesterday afternoon from the resi dence of the family on Thirteenth-atreet. A very large number of officers of the marine corps, to which he was attacked for many years, as well as otticers of the Army and Navy attended. After the performance of funeral sefvices at the resi- dence, the procession was formed. escorted bya battalion of United States Marines, with the cel- ebrated band of the corps, under command of Brevet Major Zeilen, and proceeded to the Con- — cemetery where the body was depos- ited. {commuUnicatzD.] Ix view of the fearful risk to life attending the rnaning with the ‘“ machine’’ of late days, I would respectfully suggest to the peacefully djs- posed young men of the fire department, to aban- don the present volunteer system, and turn the apparatus over to the authorities and property- holders and let them adopt some other system.

J about 12 0’clock, in a, block of thitee stoty brick honses, situated on the ‘West side of Jefferson street, south of the canal, whieb completely destroyed two of them and in- yer ‘Will require re- ‘building nearly from the floor. The one in which the fire occurred (froma spark from the edgy belonged to the Foxhail estate, and was insured in the Potomac Company to the amount of $1,200. The adjoining ene was owned by Mr. P.'P. Berry, and ts insured, we learn, to the 77 amount. The next is owned, we learn, by Mr. Charles De Selden, of your city. ‘The in- surance upon the two first, is sy) to be suf- ficient to cover the loss. Each of the buildings was occupied a number of families, all of whom are illy able to bear loss they sus- tained by the breaking of their furniture during its removal. The Perseverance, Western Hose, Columbia, and other companies of your city were on the ground, and rendered good service in staying the progress of the devouring element. The Vigilant Company of our city, was also romptly on the ground, and labored faith- Fany. but they they the facl that they have no t hose fit for use, could render but little effec- tive service, until Uncle George (omcomerety came to their help with his pet, the Star, supplied them with water. Friend Shoemaker deserves the gratitnde of this entire community for the mauuer in which he had, at bis own ex- nse, taken care of this piece of fire apparatus. ‘Ve were informed this morni that he has, during the last several years, paid out of his own private purse, over five hundred dollars for the par of keeping it in working order. Even the house in twhick it js kept, is his own private property. After they were done working ogee the fire yesterday, aicthe corepn sles dispersed in good order and without any signs of disorder. We now appeal again to onr Corporation, or the insurance companies who have risks in our city, to furnish the Vigilant Line with a good set of hose. They gave yesterday the most indubi- table proot of their ability willingness to render service were they provided with suitable apparatus ; and we are assured that had they been provided yesterday with sufficient hose they could have the devouring element be- fore $200 worth was done. About 1 o'clock last night the fire broke out again in the back building of one of the burned buildings, and completely destroyed it. The excitement in mercantile circies, conse- quent upon the suspension of the District banks, isgradually subsiding. ‘The money market, how- ever, continues extremely stringent. All classes seem to coincide in the opinion the Farmers’ and Mechanics’, and Bank of Commerce have acted wisely in pursuing the course which they have. All have too much confidence in the offi- cers and directors of these institutions to suppose for a moment that they would take any step that was not actually necessary for their protection, and the protection of those they seek to accom- modate. We would caution persons at a distance against sacrificing the notes of either of our banks, we have no hesitation in saying that they are just as safe in holding them as they would bea like amount of gold or silver. Weare informed that the suspension will continue no longer than the urgent necessities of the case actually demand. t is rumored in om cty le morning that those of our millers who are ly interested in the suspension of the house of Abbott, Dodge & Co. ew York, upon visiting that city have fou: matters in a much more favorable condition than they first expected. The general impression is that their loss by the suspension will be small, if anything We learn that the dams upon the canal have been sufficiently tightened to secure a sufficient supply of water on the levels near Williamsport, to admit of the passage of laden boats, and that the fleet of coal boats which have been detained so long, have commenced moving down. We learn from one of the drivers that during the fracas on Pennsylvania avenue last nighta ball was fired through the body of one of the Union Line omnibuses. Arrived—Packet schrs. S.G.
